Sharp-tailed Grouse square off in intense battles for territory and breeding rights. These grouse form leks, mating arenas where males meet to compete for territory and attract females. This leads to continual fighting as they strive to outdo each other.

Ever heard of "counting coup?" Native Americans knew the value of "tagging" the enemy without the need to destroy and kill!! Guess where they learned this....uhmm by observing nature?? Go figure

Amazing footage. Very interesting to see the birds using their wings as weapons, smacking each other with their wrists.
